I put my EZ Glide pads on the two bunks that I thought supported the lions share of the boat's weight....the 2 center ones. They work great too....like having rollers instead of bunks

It depends on the trailer and the boat and how the boat sits on the trailer bunks. If the boat sits with pretty even pressure on the length of the bunk, then space the slicks evenly along the bunk. Start at about 4" from the back of the bunk at the back of the trailer, lay them out with a tape measure, and screw them down. If you boat is really heavy, you may want to by a second set of slicks and put two of them next to each other. If you don't like the way the boat sits on them, just take them off and move them around.

I would definitely recommend a cover. Especially if you have pets or children. I would go as far as keeping it covered most of the time, and perhaps removing cover when you have guests.

You would probably want another cloth under to completely cover table. I used a plastic. Also, it was cut unevenly. I squared it up before using. Makes great BB backing because you can wash & reuse.

one would cover most of a king sized bed. If you have smart cats that will just lay at the edges then you might need two. I found my cat under the blanket the other day - but he is an under cover sleeper anyway

I put a bunkie-board on the slats and a standard inexpensive twin on top of the bunkie-board. I covered it with a bedspread and put three inexpensive queen pillows with sham covers that match the bedspread across the back. I also put on a tailored bed skirt so I could use the space under the bed for storage, and tucked in the bedspread on the front and ends of the bed. It looks great and everyone who has slept on it says it is extremely comfortable. Hope that helps.

I installed mine over a carpet kit I did notice in the directions. There was area explaining how to install over plastic vinyl bed liners

I don't have leather and the back of my seats is actually carpeted like the rest of the cargo area. That said, these covers do not cover that. They DO, however, cover all the exposed cloth in my seats. They are retained in the back by inserting an attached plastic tab between the seat-back/cargo-deck and the seat.I hope this explanation makes sense.

I have a ranger 6 foot bed, and put the boat on a picket rack. (2 post with a stringer across bed at front and back). If it sticks out 3ft, put a light kit on it.

I would agree with Derek, but if cost is not an issue, I would go with the 16x32 and cut the side the two feet. I have mine on a reel and the extra 2 feet is rolled up. For ease of use, I would get a reel to roll the pool cover up. After I put my pool cover on a reel and my neighbors saw how easy it was to cover and uncover the pool they got a reel. Believe me, it makes using a pool cover a snap.

I use the supports that came with the play pen cover for the boat. We first connect the play pen cover to the boat, then drape this blue cover over the top of that. My boat is 24 foot and it stretched from the front deck all the way back enought to cover the motor. Once you have it stretched out tie it down to the frame of the trailer. Then crawl back in under the play pen cover and place your poles in the area of your boat as needed to keep the cover tight. I had to drill holes in my poles so I could place pins in the poles to keep them from sliding down cause with this cover and the snow we had earlier in the year the weight pushed the poles down. Since we drilled the holes into the poles for teh pins we have never had any problems. We also us our bimi top lifted 6 inches up with the cover over the top of that which helps for water to run off easier. You will by doing it this way have a small opening on both sides of the boat in the aft area both on port and stern sides, but only one should have any type of access to the boat, by way of about a 1 foot tall by 2 foot long opening is all I have on my stern side which if you tie it down correctly no one should bother your boat.Hope this help you out and good luck with the boat.

Unfortunately, these will not cover the holes and anchors. I have a 2012, where I have removed the middle seat in the second row to allow access to the third row. I did this, because I have front-facing child seats in the second row outboard seats. The anchors in the center of the third row are now exposed. I've had it in for a little over a month, and I have been seeking, but have not found a good solution for covering.

I have the same boat. I purchased the 24' size and it covers the motor as well - even with the middle tented. The only drawback is the excess baggage on the rear sides, but after some head scratching and trial-and-error, it works out. There will be a tendency for the cover to form pockets back there that catch water, but it's not a big deal. I would buy the same size again.

I would suggest the 18 to 20 foot cover. I bought the 20 to 22 foot cover to go over my 20 foot deep v hull with 2 foot high wind shields. It covers the whole boat plus outboard and trolling motor with room to spare.

The doors and turning wheel are exposed; everything else is covered. I would prefer the bottom door to be covered as well, as this would add to a more secure fit.

Most experts I've spoken to, agree on not covering the entire unit. The cover is designed to keep debris from getting inside, it's not about moisture.
